    Pssh. I had posted this 10 minutes earlier and got no updoots.

    This community gets 2.23k users per week, whereas you posted it to one that gets 2 users per month; I don’t know what you were expecting.

      I just browse by /all and new so its pretty much like drinking from a fire hose. I try and post Zeteo to c/Zeteo, but I’ll try cross posting in the future.

        Presumably the “2 users per month” are you when you posted that, and me when I clicked your link, so that community seems pretty dead. I think cross-posting to multiple relevant communities is the only real way to get any traction on Lemmy, unfortunately. It at least draws attention to the more specialized communities from people who were browsing the general ones. I know I’ve subscribed to many communities that I discovered through crossposts… wouldn’t otherwise have known they existed.

        Most users are subscribed to a community and posts go on the frontpage by activity. The only time a new sub sees massaive activity is when is likely being astroturfed like the 50501 community which sprung up out of nothing.
